I keep 2 geese in the coop with my chickens. I know it isn't advisable but it has worked for over a year. My chickens have some bald spots that originally thought was from a bad molt. Then thought maybe I had too many roos so I culled 2. They are still bald. Yesterday I saw what looked like a goose cleaning the feathers of a chicken and the chicken was letting it. Is this normal? Can they clean so much that they cause balding?
